Question

What is net force

a. A force associated with the Internet
b. The combined forces acting on a particular object
c. The same thing as inertia
d. The same thing as gravity

Answer 1

b. The combined forces acting on a particular object

Step-by-step explanation:

Net force is when you add up all the force acting on an object. For example: James is pushing a box to the left at 30 newtons, while Katie is pulling the box in the same direction at 45 newtons. What's the total net force?? Well you would add the forces sense they are going the same way, so the answer for net force would be 75 newtons left. And if Katie were to be acting against James force you would subtract the numbers making the net force 15 newton' right.
